Practice

Our approach

Every project presents an exciting new opportunity and challenge for us. We treat each project with careful design consideration and attention to detail to ensure it is delivered to a standard that exceeds expectations.

At every stage of the design process, our proposals are continually reviewed. It is important we make sure every option is considered in order for our plans to achieve the results we are all striving for.

Scope

We believe in working closely with our clients from the outset. By understanding the client’s needs and aspirations in detail, a strong, clear brief can be created which is uniquely tailored to the needs of the end user. Investing our time from the very start, researching each client’s specific values, means we can move on to the next stage, confident that we are on the right path to success.

Concept

Each new project brings in a fresh attitude and the opportunity to learn something new. This is the stage at which each individual project is still an abstract idea so we use all our architectural knowledge and experience to research a variety of possibilities. We then consider the practicalities of each idea in order to ensure we’re on track and in a position to confidently move on and put the concept into practice.

Design and BIM

We work with the latest technology, including 3D printers and virtual models, to bring our designs to life. Using this technology means our clients can be reassured that we’re working to the vision that matches their needs: the client’s brief is always front-of-mind and is constantly reviewed to make sure objectives are being fulfilled. We use Building Information Modelling (BIM) to allow the cost and efficiency of the build to be tracked at every stage.

Construction

With all plans finalised and thoroughly checked for safety, the construction can begin. We work and co-ordinate closely with the design team to ensure that the construction process runs efficiently and a quality build is delivered. Seeing a project evolve from a plan on paper to a construction on-site, is one of the most exciting stages in the process. Regular site visits enable us to monitor the progress of the scheme and allow us to confirm the initial design brief is being realised.

Complete

The build is complete to an excellent standard and ready to be used, but the client’s journey with us is far from over. It is important for us to learn how the building meets the needs of our client and the end-users over the coming weeks, months and years. Feedback enables us to continue delivering projects to the highest possible standards so it is vital for us to build strong and lasting relationships with the client beyond completion.
